In Episode 303 of the FNO: InsureTech Podcast, host Lee Boyd welcomes Phil McGriskin, Co-Founder and CEO of Vitesse, for a deep and timely discussion on one of the most complex, and often invisible, challenges in insurance: financial infrastructure behind claims payments. Phil shares his journey from Australia to the heart of the Lloyd's insurance market, tracing a career that spans underwriting, brokerage, fintech entrepreneurship, and large scale payments innovation. With multiple successful ventures behind him, Phil brings a rare perspective to insurance, approaching long standing problems through the lens of payments, treasury, and operational control. The conversation explores how Vitesse was built to solve the inefficiencies surrounding loss funds, delegated authority payments, and treasury visibility. Rather than focusing solely on speeding up payments, Phil explains why giving carriers real time insight, control, and transparency over capital is foundational to improving claims outcomes, reducing risk, and freeing trapped funds.
